Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
I don't know if this qualifies for today's Hugh, but during last night's Nevada-Hawaii game, I couldn't control my laughter everytime the color guy said "WAC Offensive Player of the Week." -efelde84 (screen grab via FanIQ)...
Cherundolo's Goal Is the Difference In Johannesburg
The US Men's National Team earned a victory over South Africa this morning (at least it was this morning here, I think it was tomorrow there). A 27th minute goal scored off of a Steve Cherundolo run was all the US needed to hold off an attacking opponent. The 28 year-old defender was probably the la...

You Can Make Antoine Walker an All Star Again!
Some enterprising internetters over on the RealGM message boards have hatched a plan to corner the NBA All Star voting market involving cookies (not the kind you throw or use to torture). I'm a moron so I don't really understand all of their Internet Explorer speak but I have deduced that they are q...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 1
Let's all give it up to Mac G at Big Ten Poon for singlehandedly making OSU/Michigan slightly less than intolerable. The game still sucks, but at least we've got something to look at while sit idly by waiting for some good games to be beamed onto our televisions. Without further ado, here's the Hugh...

This Is Why People Hate High School
Everybody knows that the only thing on earth better than cheerleaders are cheerleaders who flash some ass. Despite this universal understanding the Modesto City Gestapo School Board are allowing cheerleaders to be suspended for flashing their panties....
Wilkins Scores 41, Hawks Lose...Seems Familiar
Of course the Wilkins in question is Seattle's Damien, not his uncle Dominique formerly of the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran busted out for 41 points in the Super Sonics second consecutive win on the heels of an 8-game losing streak. Damien's outburst was eventually overshadowed, but you'd think he'd b...
Dennis Dixon Has Balls of Uranium

About Last Night
What you missed while preparing for the end with your comrades... • NBA: LeBron James is really starting to get a hang of this basketball thing. I think he just got fouled again. • CFB: Hawaii pulled one out of their ass without Colt Brennan. Can I go to bed now? Sleep is where I'm a viking. • CBB: ...
It Was Never About Barry, And Of Course It Always Was
The key point to remember in the Barry Bonds indictment that went down yesterday afternoon is that we really don't have any new information. Whatever your thoughts on Bonds, it's clear that the government is out to get him. You might think he deserves it. He probably does. But there is no smoking gu...

How Hillary Is Like Grandmama
There's another one of those presidential debates tonight — this one's the Democrats, their 592th — and as that race starts to veer toward the more interesting, MSNBC brings up a fun parallel: The candidates are just like early '90s basketball teams....
"Dear Furry Guy ... I Am Sorry I Hit You"
We've already played with "Who's Sorry Now" earlier this morning, but we couldn't help but point out this particularly bit of humiliation: A college hockey player has to write a letter of apology to a mascot....
Marbury Decides Against The Nuclear Option
So Stephon Marbury played for the Knicks on Wednesday — albeit $180,000 lighter in the wallet — saying "I'm positive all the way around. Whatever happened in the past is in the past." Damn it. Apparently some sort of deal with Isiah Thomas was brokered, and the skeletons will remain in the closet....
